BlueCielo Announces Promotion of Brian Sallade to Chief Operating Officer and New US Headquarters
BlueCielo ECM Solutions announced the promotion of Brian Sallade to Chief Operating Officer, overseeing BlueCielo’s entire global operations. Prior to this appointment, Sallade was serving as Chief Operating Officer for North America, during which he contributed significantly to BlueCielo’s growth in the region. Alongside this, BlueCielo has expanded its US headquarters and moved it to brand new facilities in Exton, PA, with effect from November 24, 2008.
In his new role, Sallade will be responsible at top management level for BlueCielo's worldwide activity in Development, Professional Services, Support, Product Management and IT, and will spearhead better operating procedures to streamline the activities between BlueCielo’s technical departments.
“BlueCielo has been growing in leaps since we changed our name from Cyco Software to BlueCielo ECM Solutions in April 2007 to reflect our new corporate approach as a total solutions provider and dedicated focus on providing integrated solutions for specific vertical markets. Our total revenues are up by 50 percent compared to the same period in 2007,” states Martijn Janmaat, BlueCielo’s CEO. “In the newly created role of Chief Operating Officer, Brian will support me in managing our expanding worldwide operations. Brian has been instrumental in providing strategic insight and more than doubling our revenues in North America, and I am confident that extending his proven leadership abilities across the entire organization will bring us to even greater heights of success.”
Due to BlueCielo’s impressive growth and increasing presence in North America, BlueCielo has expanded its US headquarters into prestigious, state-of-the-art premises overlooking Pickering Creek in Exton, PA, this week. The company’s former US headquarters in Atlanta, GA, will remain in operation as one of BlueCielo’s global offices.
Sallade joined BlueCielo as Chief Operating Officer for North America in June 2007 following BlueCielo's acquisition of DataCore Technology Inc, a successful company specializing in implementing ECM solutions and a long-time reseller of BlueCielo's software solutions – of which Sallade was President for 11 years.
Prior to DataCore Technology, Sallade worked at an engineering company where he started and managed a CAD Services division, and also taught all levels of AutoCAD at several local colleges. Sallade has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Delaware where he studied business administration.
